At least four civilians were killed and six were injured after unidentified armed men, in a suspected terror attack, indiscriminately opened fire in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district on Sunday evening, police said.
While a senior police officer, later in the day, said the incident was a terror attack, additional director general of police (ADGP) Mukesh Singh said it was yet to be confirmed.
The firing near Ram Temple at Upper Dangri village came close on the heels of an encounter at Sidhra, on the outskirts of Jammu City, on December 28 when security forces gunned down four terrorists and said they averted a terror attack.
Providing details of Sunday’s attack, ADGP Singh said: “A firing incident happened at Upper Dangri village. Firing took place at three houses, separated at a distance of around 50 metres from each other. Three civilians have succumbed to injuries and four others are injured.”

An ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh and a Govt job would be given to the next of kin of each of those civilians martyred in dastardly attack. Seriously injured would be given Rs.1 lakh
